Slideator is a browser-based platform for creating, recording, streaming, hosting, and sharing video presentations and online courses. It can record PowerPoint and PDF slides alongside webcam video, narration, screen sharing, and live annotations. Its AI Assistant can draft outlines and narration scripts; users can select an AI voiceover or record their own voice. The platform also supports live streams and video posts, and lets users organize recordings into courses. It names Moodle, Blackboard, Canvas, and Google Classroom for embedding or LMS integration. Slideator says recordings are generated in the browser and are not stored or transmitted externally unless users publish or share them. Videos can be private or unlisted; anyone with an unlisted video's direct link can view it. It works in a browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook, and mobile devices without software installation. The Basic plan is free, with limits including 12 slides per file, 250 MB of storage, and videos up to 15 minutes. Personal is listed at $5.25 per month.
